Can you as a new-joiner, under current market conditions, pay a mortgage with your allowance (for a decent place, doesn't have to be a huge villa though)?
I am asking because I just don't get it. I was told a F/O at EK makes about 8000 US$ plus company housing and some school fees. Any retirement benefits??
How can that be attractive for a European guy with( or even without) family??? Serious question, no offense.
